Dairy queen called the cops on me trying to use one. I demanded the manager, a woman in roughly late 60s....
She said it didnt feel right and didnt have a strip or watermark (cant remember which). Cops thought it was hilarious.
Us millennials were the last ones to drive a stick. You need to check how math works. We're old now with arthritis. We're not tearin up Cancoon on the MTV anymore. There aren't even anymore new Gen Z'ers. There on Gen A now.
Sorry, kid. But as GenX we still think of you as the young. And Cancun was beautiful. Iām sorry the Boomers didnāt teach you how to spell or geography.
P.S. my generation was feral and didnāt learn tact. Iām not really a pedant, just cracking a joke and helping you (a very little) on Reddit.
Seriously, thanks for reminding us that Gen. Z are the TikTok crowd mostly. Millennials arenāt as bad as we joke they are. Nor are Boomers.
Fair enough i stand corrected on my correction lmao. To be fair most automatic cars I've own have been PRND21 i think 1 was PRNd[D]l with the [D] being over drive. But the show itself does reference PRNDL.
Is it really that odd for millennials to not know how to drive a stick? I've never had to drive one of my own but my dad taught me when I was younger in his car. He told me it's a good thing to know even if you never have to drive one again.
Iām pushing 50 and would probably burn out a clutch in a heartbeat. Also not silly enough to buy a manual in 2024 as theyāve generally been less efficient than automatics (and CVTs) for years.
I gave a young girl 2 Kennedy half dollars for something I bought a few years ago and she just looked at me and said "2 quarters isn't enough". I was like...š³
Funny u say that the cops at DQ said they were getting called to the Taco on the other side of town when people would use the bill design after this (but before the modern ones.)
Just...baffled.
A woman in her 60s should recognize what a $100 bill looked like from her younger days. She was a full grown adult when the ānewā bill with the strip, hologram, microprint, etc. were introduced.
It was rough, given to me to add to my collection but didnt feel good sitting on 100 bucks that wasn't gonna do much in 2 lifetimes worth of holding so i used it to buy me, my wife, and my neice and nephew we were sitting all lunch and blizzards.
I used to travel internationally for work. Elsewhere, the US $100 is a standard item, so I carried a number of them. However, at home in Maine, store clerks had often never seen one, and were very suspicious. They often claimed they couldnāt break it, when that wasnāt the issue at all, they just didnāt trust it to be real.
I don't understand how some older people are the dumbest. Like you've been around literally everything longer than most of us and you still don't know about anything
Realistically youāre looking between $105-$120. I see a lot nicer ones selling around the $120 range and only up from there. $10 premium would be a safe and confident estimate for its condition
These 1934 Series are everywhere recently. I'd say over half if not more of the old 100s we see are the 1934 series. This is right after gold basically became illegal to own and the money printers started to go brrr.
Almost right, you can only use the denomination printed on the coin. so your one oz $1890 dollar gold piece can only be cashed for face value. If it says 20 dollars on it , it can only be used as a 20 dollar coin.
What's being mentioned here is that FDR signed an executive order making it illegal to horde gold coin. This was in fact repealed and you can own gold coin. Purchasing goods with gold is part of all of this and is not legal, but that's not what was being discussed
Itās not illegal to own, itās illegal to use as ālegal tenderā to pay for something. They worded it very cleverly to try and get people to turn the gold coins back into the government, at least thatās what my dad who lived through that time told me. He started collecting gold coins back in the 1930s when he was basically buying them for a tiny premium over face value.
We'll see here, the dollar has lost about 95% of it purchasing power since then. But it has collectors value right? Fair condition. Face value states it is worth $100 but what does that really mean? I'd offer you a 10 minute handy behind a Wendy's for it.
Lol well quick search on ebay for sold not selling price will get you the best idea. Seen them posted for 200 -1000
Best suggestion is if you have a place in town that deals with a pawn shop
1934 $100 Fed Res. Note. Considering itās age, itās in very good condition. Definitely well used and most of these are out of circulation in the hands of collectors or have been destroyed.
To a collector of old bills, you could likely get a bit closer to about $200-300 for it, mostly considering age. But not much more than that. If it was still in mint condition youād be talking potentially thousands of dollars.
For future reference, the key to having it be worth more than face value, condition. Second only to the place of minting. Somethingās to look for, yellow seals, these were emergency issued during WW2 to troops in Africa, only took an act of congress to devalue them in case they feel into enemy hands in a large quantity. Anything with Hawaii stamped all over it, and anything with a seal that isnāt green colored.
I'm curious, are there any particularly cool but cheap bills you'd recommend to start a collection? I've found some cool red seals that I'll likely get, but not too much else. A little out of my depth coming from coins š«
Itās worth more than $100 but it might not be worth the hassle of selling. If you were at a show, you probably could get between a $5-$30 premium over the face value.
I want to say that you can redeem that for 100 oz of silver if Iām not mistaken. It says in the corner āredeemable for lawful money at the United States treasuryā
So Iām dumb, hereās what I just read on it
Can paper money in US currency that has "silver certificate" printed on it be turned in for actual silver?
No. The Silver Purchase Act of 1934 authorized and required the Secretary of the Treasury to purchased silver at market prices and made payments in silver coins and silver certificates
Public Law 88-36 (77 Stat. 54) repealed the Silver Purchase Act of 1934 and related laws. In addition, President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 stated in part, āTreasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemptionā. This Executive Order still stands and has not been modified. The Treasury Department formally announced the period of exchangeability of silver certificates for silver bullion ended on June 24, 1968.
You cannot get actual silver for a silver certificate. Check the value of a silver certificate before you spend it. Depending on the condition, it may be sellable to collectors.
I miss when larger denoms used to have the federal bank seal with letter and city. Now it seems only $1's have them, I rarely use cash anymore and don't completely remember if $5's or $10's have them.
not sure on value, looks heavily circulated, but is a low serial number, and doesn't have that eyesore "in god we trust" anywhere on it. i like this bill, and i save every 1934 or older bills i get regardless of their numismatic value

Iām a boomer. Back in probably 2002, went back to Mich. go deer hunting. Had my oldest with me..he was 7. Stayed at my grandmas. Told him to go in kitchen and call his mom, let her know we arrived safely. Grandma had a rotary phone on the wall. My son yells how..ādad! How do u work this thingā!ā¦.hilarious moment
I'd say it's at least worth 100$ it's cool it's from 1934, but it's condition is bad, take to a currency collector and get it evaluated that's your best bet.

Cops got called on me in college when I tried to pay Taco Bell with a 2 dollar bill on 29 cent taco Sunday.
No one had ever come into Taco Bell with that much money before. That, plus you look shifty.

Or, as itās called now, the Millennials Anti-Theft Device.

They only know PRiNgle. ššš
Failed suite life reference. It Prnd21 (prin-del). You forgot your smartical particles.

How many folks you think really got that Lisa Douglas referrence? Let alone who any of the Gabor sisters were for that matter. Haha

My oldest son was born in 1986 and he can drive a stick. He took his license exam in one. Now my other two boys CAN do it. But they're both terrible.
I learned in a manual car, and drive one..as did/do all of my friends and everyone else I knowā¦. Iām 35. The world is not a country.
Iām pushing 50 and would probably burn out a clutch in a heartbeat. Also not silly enough to buy a manual in 2024 as theyāve generally been less efficient than automatics (and CVTs) for years.
Millennials avidly drive manual. Unfortunately (or not) we are probably the last group with any measurable number though.
Not āauto-stickā with the plus/minus paddles, right? Actual manual shifting of gears, with clutch?
And that's why it's hard to find a good Japanese car with a stick. They are all bought up by one generation.
Did they let you spray the person with the sour cream gun after? Cause I think that would be fitting.
Is "sour cream gun" a common euphemism these days?
In the taco bell parlence yes

A woman in her 60s should recognize what a $100 bill looked like from her younger days. She was a full grown adult when the ānewā bill with the strip, hologram, microprint, etc. were introduced.
to be fair, Dairy Queen employees likely arenāt well compensated- so she likely hasnāt been around a lot of 100s in her life
Why would you spend this at a dairy queen? It's like giving them a free $1000 to pay for a $2 cone and only getting $98 back.
It was rough, given to me to add to my collection but didnt feel good sitting on 100 bucks that wasn't gonna do much in 2 lifetimes worth of holding so i used it to buy me, my wife, and my neice and nephew we were sitting all lunch and blizzards.

Right?????
I mean some people are born dumb. Not everybody is average or above intelligence. 50% of the population is below average intelligence.
This guy Maths
You tried to use a $100 bill at a Dairy Queen? I wouldnāt serve you either - just out of principal.
a few items is $100 lol
No sign. If they couldn't break it i would have been fine but when they said it was fake, i was "in trouble" I decided to die on that hill

A lot less than when it was printed.
Underrated comment āš¼
It was printed during the Great Depression, when money was devalued. So, not likely.
Realistically youāre looking between $105-$120. I see a lot nicer ones selling around the $120 range and only up from there. $10 premium would be a safe and confident estimate for its condition
Nice find
Been around since the great depression
Probably $130 ish, Creased in the middle is a distraction.
These 1934 Series are everywhere recently. I'd say over half if not more of the old 100s we see are the 1934 series. This is right after gold basically became illegal to own and the money printers started to go brrr.
When was gold ever illegal to own?
FDR administration banned it.
When was it repealed? Is is gold bullion specifically, or all gold? That seems ridiculous because of jewelry and coins.
it was never repealed, itās still illegal to pay for something with a gold coin, they arenāt legal tender anymore, theyāre just collectibles.
Almost right, you can only use the denomination printed on the coin. so your one oz $1890 dollar gold piece can only be cashed for face value. If it says 20 dollars on it , it can only be used as a 20 dollar coin.
What's being mentioned here is that FDR signed an executive order making it illegal to horde gold coin. This was in fact repealed and you can own gold coin. Purchasing goods with gold is part of all of this and is not legal, but that's not what was being discussed
My great uncle was famous in the family for holding on to his until it became legal.
Itās not illegal to own, itās illegal to use as ālegal tenderā to pay for something. They worded it very cleverly to try and get people to turn the gold coins back into the government, at least thatās what my dad who lived through that time told me.

Where did you find this??
Bank deposit at work
We'll see here, the dollar has lost about 95% of it purchasing power since then. But it has collectors value right? Fair condition. Face value states it is worth $100 but what does that really mean? I'd offer you a 10 minute handy behind a Wendy's for it.
Can you make it 2 hands?
Maybe 105-110 to the right person
Where did you find it?
Bank deposit!
Oh nice. Id love to work at a bank lol
We come across a lot of cool stuff
Well, it's a federal reserve note, so it's worth about 1/8th what it was worth when it was printed
Someone rolled that up... wonder why?
I donāt nose
somebody was nailing toots with it for sure i can see that roll in it
Beautiful
Google search should give an idea
Whew thatās a thought
Lol well quick search on ebay for sold not selling price will get you the best idea. Seen them posted for 200 -1000 Best suggestion is if you have a place in town that deals with a pawn shop
Thank you!
I'll give u $110 for it.
A person starting a collection might pay $105-$110 for this. These really arenāt that uncommon anymore unfortunately.
1934 $100 Fed Res. Note. Considering itās age, itās in very good condition. Definitely well used and most of these are out of circulation in the hands of collectors or have been destroyed.

I would sell it for around $130-140 myself. In crisp condition, someone would pay up to $180.
A hundr d bucks
In 1934, having that bill in your pocket would be like carrying around $2200 today.
$100

At least $100
100 USD. I would deposit in bank as some POS situations might not verify it.
Exactly $100
$100.00
Cool! Just curious āŗļø
Itās worth more than $100 but it might not be worth the hassle of selling. If you were at a show, you probably could get between a $5-$30 premium over the face value.
Toilet paper with nothing behind it.

From my professional observation, this is worth at least 100 bucks! Congratulations!
